Mercury Dime

Minted in the US between 1916 and 1945 and said to feature the face of Mercury, the Roman god of travelers, merchants and magicians, these genuine silver dimes make excellent offerings to Mercury/Hermes or spirits of place (especially those that dwell at wells and sacred waters). In Hoodoo they're used as an apotropaic or protective charm, to bring luck and wealth, and to buy graveyard dirt.
